gen-assembly SKILL.md skillA

gen-assembly from partcad/partcad is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add partcad/partcad/gen-assembly@git:20261106.8c298cb

Pins git:20261106.8c298cb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate a PartCAD assembly (an ASSY that composes parts with placement and/or mates) from a description, writing down what it is required to be, generating or reusing the component parts, settling the placements on temporary layout sketches that /pc:gen-sketch measures and validates, and validating the result with the PartCAD CLI - including measuring the placements again on the assembly's own projections. Use for /pc:gen-assembly or when the user asks to generate or create an assembly…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# pc:gen-assembly

Generate a PartCAD **assembly**: an `.assy` file that composes parts (and
sub-assemblies) into one product. The text after the command (`$ARGUMENTS`) is
the assembly description. *You* author both the ASSY and its component parts and
prove the whole thing **passes `pc test`**. There is no legacy `ai` assembly
pipeline — this capability is new.

## 1. Decompose

`$ARGUMENTS` is the description. Break it into components and the
spatial/mechanical relationships between them: which parts, how many of each, and
how they attach to or move relative to one another. Clarify only load-bearing
ambiguities. Where nothing was put together — objects standing where they stand,
a room, a workcell, a world — the request is a scene, not an assembly: follow
`/pc:gen-scene` instead.

Where the components go is a set of dimensions as much as a part's size is:
the gap between two parts, the pitch of a row of them, how high a shelf sits,
how far a bracket stands in from an edge. Note every one the description or a
reference gives; §3 settles them on sketches before any of them becomes a
`location:`.

Keep apart what the *product* is required to be — what it does, what it mounts
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add partcad/partcad/gen-assembly@sha256:e25bddc836bc17d6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.8c298cb, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
